Serge Sanon (Edison) Depression and Suicide
Depressed people have been around since the beginning of time. Most religious text, including the Bible, refer to individuals that went on mountain tops to pray or rest because of deep depression.
This is a real disease. It is most of the time an invisible snake. If remained untreated it often leads to suicide. It does not respect one’s color, gender or age. Just this week, a well known celebrity’s son becomes victim of this invisible serpent. Why are people so judgmental about individuals with this mental illness? Could it be ignorance? Many say things like: “get out and have some fun “or “be a man/ woman” and “snap out of it”. Well, I am not a doctor but I know from experience that it’s not so simple.
Would one expect someone with a broken leg to start running? Depression is a mental illness that needs treatment just like any other ailment.

Katherine Blackford (FGCU)
I agree depression is a serious problem in this country. According to depression.com this is a result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. They say to identify it, treat it and live day by day. That sounds like good advice, people need to realize that they could be happier and they need to look for medical advice. Reports say you have to be patient and try many medications but eventially you should be able to find something that works. I can’t imagine living my life under a cloud of depression. I know I would seek help and I hope anyone else suffering from this disease seeks help. Life is too short!
